Feminist Narrative Analytics: Letters, Archives and Gendered Labour Politics

This dataset is designed for teaching feminist narrative analysis. This data is provided by Professor Maria Tamboukou from the University of East London, and is taken from research she conducted in the New York Public Library with letters of women trade unionists in the New York garment industry in the first half of the twentieth century. The example encourages thinking about how to follow narrative tropes and feminist analytics in collecting, reassembling and analysing letters from the archive. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
